Santos fans called a vigil on behalf of Pelé and his critical state of health

Global concern for the health of the ‘King’. La Torcida Jovem del Santos, one of the main organized fans of the Brazilian club in which Pelé was immortalized, called this Saturday a vigil for the health of the three-time world champion in front of the hospital where the famous 82-year-old ex-footballer has been hospitalized since last tuesday.

“Who is king never loses majesty. La Torcida Jovem do Santos summons our associates, Santos in general and football lovers, to attend a vigil on Sunday in which we will show support and faith in the recovery of King Pelé”according to the statement released by the important bar.

The fans of Santos, the club with which Pelé won 45 titles, including two in the Libertadores and two in the Intercontinental Club Cup, intend to gather in front of the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo for about three hours.

The vigil was called at a time when the whole world is paying attention to Pelé’s health since the man considered by many to be the best soccer player in the world was admitted to Albert Einstein to be treated for a respiratory infection, according to a medical bulletin released on Friday by Hospital.

Pelé has been going to the same hospital monthly for chemotherapy sessions with which he is treating a colon cancer that was diagnosed in September 2021 and his relatives assure that the new hospitalization is routine.

It should be noted that, in the bulletin released on Friday, the hospital confirmed the treatment for the respiratory infection but clarified that the patient presents a “general improvement in health status” in response to the antibiotics you are being given.
